To sue the company who makes peppa pig

On Friday, my 10-year-old son jumped in a muddy puddle and got mud in my eye, all over his school uniform, all over the car, and all over the porch. He also threw his 23-year-old sibling’s CV out of the window as a paper airplane, which he had made a long time ago, causing delays in their job search. He has been saying that I have a big tummy, which has hurt my feelings, and was refusing to get out of the car after we drove home from school. Most times when I ask why he does these things, he says things like "Peppa Pig does it," "Peppa Pig did it," "George did it," or "George Pig does it." I have noticed that he has been displaying all this behavior after watching Peppa Pig.

If your son at 10 is watching peppa pig and behaving like that. You need to take him to the doctors he may have additional needs.

Why are so many people taking the thread seriously?

Let's do a joint suing. Strength in numbers

My husband now won't stop going round telling people he's "a bit of an expert" every time anyone needs a little assistance with something. Yet it always turns out he's not actually an expert at all, he knows sweet fuck all about it and he makes himself look a right bellend. The secondhand embarrassment is killing me. He's bringing shame to the family name!

This is hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣

It’s a good job he didn’t grow up watching Dennis the menace 🤣

FFS, you should have been pointing out years ago (a) how naughty she is and (b) how she’s only funny for little kids, not big grown up boys who know better.

That Gangsta Granny needs to examine her conscience too.

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 15/09/2025 15:49

I do think you need to explain that peppa pig is about three years old

Dontlletmedownbruce · 15/09/2025 15:49

I actually did an essay on Peppa pig a few years ago, for a degree. Honestly I did. The topic was something to do with how society's attitude towards young children and how they are represented in the arts and media shifted from children being passive and submissive, to agentic. I used peppa as an example, I had to put in quotes from various episodes to prove my point. I got a high grade actually. It was the most fun I've ever had researching.

PinkFlloyd · 15/09/2025 15:46

HRTFT but from your OP he should sue you for being parented so poorly for him to have watched the amount needed to influence any child to that extent, let alone a ten year old.

I think the lawyers of the land will be beating a path to your door for the opportunity to set new legal precedents in the duty of care owed by cartoon makers to its audience

It will get worse! Wait till he starts watching The Diary of a Wimpy Kid. My daughter found out there - that when you do some bad stuff you should never ever admit to anyting and just plain deny it. She lives by the rules of the bad kids in this book. Mainly wimpy kid brother rules ;) she adores books and movies. But glad to say she is almost past her teenage years now so we have tiktok and instagram inluencers rocking her world lol

Elmo is very kind as are all the Sesame Street characters. SpongeBob is very kind and an optimist who takes pride in his job and loves his friends and uses his imagination. We still quote SpongeBob. I haven’t seen most of them but I have listened to all of them.

My American step grandD affected a British accent for some time during her peppa days.

as an aside (thinking of the Mrs:Miss rabbits) I noticed the man playing Mr Noodle changed in some episodes. Clearly a different man and I thought how are they passing that off??and then I listened and Elmo clearly says Mr. Noodles’ brother Mr Noodle.

I love when someone ask me how long something will take and I quote Mr bull saying "it will take as long as it takes"

I'll join you with a retrospective lawsuit for Horrid Fckng Henry

We lived in Canada when DD was small. I would happily throttle Caillou with my bare hands.

And to PP, it’s clearly a joke. As is the OP. FFS.
